Enables programmatic access to the IACR Cryptology ePrint Archive for efficient retrieval of cryptographic research papers.
Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. IACR Cryptology EPrint Archive MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Enables programmatic access to the IACR Cryptology ePrint Archive for efficient retrieval of cryptographic research papers.
This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server provides a programmatic interface to the IACR Cryptology ePrint Archive, enabling efficient retrieval of cryptographic research papers.
The server publishes 3 tools. What each one is for:
Parameters — - query: Search term (required)year — Publication year (optional)max_results — Maximum number of results (default: 20)@smithery/cli on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. IACR Cryptology EPrint Archive's toolset — Parameters, year, max_results — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by doomdagadiggiedahdah; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
| Tool | What it does |
